yes, the more layers of security, the better, even if it is just a futile matter of time to consume the time of an ATP.

Ah, that must be it. 2FA is still a very good security feature to have.

But there is nothing only you know that is still useful because a secret must be shared in order to be useful (unless you just have full disk encryption and then when it is unlocked and network connected, it is still vulnerable). In short, admins could change your password since you are not the sole admin of your own server but then you would have to have mass appeal to be “useful”, i.e. popular.

In theory, Tim Cook might have a keybearer who could usurp the throne with all the proprietary OEM crypto keys that only the Company knows, but everyone knows who the CEO is and the keybearer could get in big trouble unless he had an army…

Things can be changed on the server side and the network is not the same as the device: these are technology truths some people refuse to ever understand.

No, nothing shady. Just was notified there was a mistake on the server end. Perhaps tmi to elaborate…

This is what I thought. I keep telling people they don’t exclusively own their passwords / security tokens once they give it to a site.

If I shared encrypted info that I kept encrypted, I guess it would still be mine but no one could then read it.

This is what I thought. I keep telling people they don’t exclusively own their passwords / security tokens once they give it to a site. Salted hashes to obscure the pw don’t even matter since the admin could also bypass that. Tanks for the validation.

OK, maybe if they are BolSHEvik boots and she is ready for comradeship! Haha!

But Jack boots and fascists? Never!

still also 300 miles from the boarder of Canada (DHS boarder control)

pretty much everywhere in the US is homogeneous unless you go to Territories or HI and even then very interchangeable

Why would costal not be Midwest? There are international cities in the interior with a lot of country of origin diversity.

And rural is not that different from megalopolis (LA, Chicago, Seattle, etc). It’s all subdivided into manageable small segments for effortless social control. The scale difference is not really categorical. You can feel just as isolated in a small town as a big city; still connect to the world via the internet and a library in a small town; get groupthink in a multicultural city; be a liberal in the countryside. . .

Do you want to show us what that looks like in assembly, ASCII from machine code? …ha, ha, ha, no!

Depends on the device, I know. Such a pain without the higher level languages.

What would it look like for ARM android touch screens? Just for one character…

But if some characters go missing or are exchanged for others for no discernable reason, then might that be an exploit on a EC or assembly level?

Actually, I have never received a proof that there actually is such a thing (all mass produced looks like every other mass produced) besides electromagnetic properties https://www.whonix.org/wiki/MAC_Address#Burner_Wi-Fi_USB_Sticks but there is, unfortunately, “clock” which is the totalitarian World Order.

People say a lot of really mean things to people. Sometimes it is primal and cuts to the core. But then they return with a how dare or act like the enmity is only one way. Strange. There should be more rational dialogue and less personal invective. I wonder why people like to focus on the ad hominem because I find the actual game plans (analysis and practice) more interesting. Why did we all get so caught up in identity? Rather than hiding behind identity, we should lead by revealing with positive action.
